Finally a derby that City can win.
Beaten by Manchester United in December, Manchester City took revenge on another neighbor, Salford, in the FA Cup (8-0). The third in League Two, bought in 2014 by several legends of the Red Devilsdid not make the weight. The eleven aligned by Pep Guardiola, mixing captains and young peopleoffered the expected return. Jérémy Doku had only scored three goals this season? The Belgian scored a double, and James McAtee a hat-trick. Jack Grealish found some color by scoring his first goal since December 2023and adding two assists. The nuggets Divin Mubama (20 years old) and Nico O’Reilly (19 years old) also participated in the party by shaking the nets. The lights are gradually getting closer to green, D-11 of the shock against PSG…
Ligue 1 salutes you
All the big ones have ensured, since Liverpool quietly dismiss Accrington Stanleywith the first goal in red for Federico Chiesa (4-0), and that Chelsea had fun against Morecambe, with a pion by Christopher Nkunku (5-0). The former Ligue 1 players have also shone on many pitches. Stephy Mavididi and Wout Faes scored during Leicester’s demonstration against QPR (6-2), like Rayan Aït-Nouri during Wolverhampton’s short success at Brighton (1-2). Without forgetting the doubled by Georginio Rutter with Brighton (0-4 victory at Norwich) and Dango Ouattara with Bournemouth (4-1 against West Brom). The surprise of the day came from Brentford, released at home by Plymouth Argyle, bottom of the Championship who recently dismissed Wayne Rooney (0-1).
The choice was obviously the right one.
